Timeline - Beaty Museum - Digging Deep!

There are various items I'd like to share with you this evening.

1. Timelines were due today.  Five students have yet to hand theirs in. 

2. Learning Logs need to be returned and signed by a parent as soon as possible.  Over the past five weeks we have been learning a lot about Black History.  Students have created their own learning log and I'm very impressed by the quality of their work.  I hope you take the time to read it before you return it to school.  You can learn a lot about your child this way.  A good question to keep in mind while reading it is:

"Did he take the time to dig deep into his thoughts?"

We (teachers) often find ourselves saying  "Dig Deeper!"  Working on the surface is not sufficient anymore and a lot of the times, something that takes 5 minutes to write is a good indicator of something that is not 'deep enough'.

Great starters for a reflective entry are...

I wonder if... I'm surprised by... I'm not sure if... This reminds me of...


Something to keep in mind while supporting your child at home.

3. Here are some pictures taken last week during our time at the Beaty Museum.

I've decided to leave Maru alone for a few days and share this video with you...
